When the darkness hits and you think there’s no way out? That is a lie.

That heavy, isolating feeling is L-Y-I-N-G to you. You don't have to carry it alone. Not for one more minute.

Your strongest move right now is simple: just reach out. Your power is in that one call.

Forget the next year. Forget the rest of the week.

Your only job is to make it through the next 5 minutes. That's it.

Someone trained and kind is waiting. They don't judge. They just help you breathe and hold the space.

24/7 Crisis Help (Free & Now):

These numbers work instantly. Use them.

National Crisis: Call or text 9-8-8

BC Suicide Prevention: Call 1-800-SUICIDE (1-800-784-2433)

BC Mental Health Support: Call 310-6789 (Toll-free, no area code)

Pick one number. Dial it. Hit SEND. It is your right to get help. Do it for the person you will be tomorrow.

You deserve life. You deserve light.

If you want to call me out for my failure to engage in all appropriate customs and unwritten mores of the Fediverse, please wait until I am no longer at risk of death or serious disability?

If you don't, I'm going to assume you're a selfish asshole who enjoys lording power over people and virtue signaling.

Because seriously. I have a lot of problems already. I'm begging for help to resolve them.

And you want me to address more?!

No, thank you. 😿😾

When I was well enough to help others. I never would have considered putting my shit on a homeless person or someone struggling to feed themselves. WTF.

Anyway. They're blocked now. And I'm sad. And angry. And I have so much to do still before Monday. 😭

Today, we join the global call to change the narrative on suicide. Suicide is preventable. Every conversation matters. Speak with kindness. Listen without judgement. If someone seems withdrawn, ask directly, stay with them, and help them find professional support. If you’re struggling, reach out — you are not alone.

𝗜𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽:
If you are in immediate danger, call your local emergency number now.
Talk to a trusted person, a healthcare professional, or visit your nearest pharmacy for information on local resources. #SCABPharmacy staff are ready to help with information and referral.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽:
Ask, listen, and take action — asking about suicide won’t plant the idea, it can save a life.
Learn the warning signs: severe mood changes, withdrawal, hopelessness, talking about death or feeling like a burden.
Remove access to means when someone is at risk.
Encourage professional care and follow-up support.
Share reliable information to reduce stigma and support someone seeking help.

𝗟𝗲𝘁’𝘀 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲:
Use language that reduces stigma: say “died by suicide” rather than sensational phrases.
Promote open, compassionate conversations about mental health.
Support policies that improve access to mental health care and crisis services.
